FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare if I want to bring my child for an eye examination?
For a vision test, accommodation-relaxing and pupil-dilating drops may be used. This will cause blurry near vision and light sensitivity for 1-2 days. Therefore, you should avoid scheduling an examination right before school exams. If you have sunglasses, it is recommended to bring them. For young children who cannot yet read numbers, we recommend practicing with an Allen chart (picture chart) at home to facilitate the visual acuity test.
At what age can I bring my child for an examination?
- If abnormalities are noticed: Bring them in immediately. Examples include observing crossed eyes (strabismus), frequent head tilting, squinting, walking very close to the television, frequent blinking, frequent eye rubbing, light sensitivity, noticing a white appearance in the pupil, or difficulty seeing the blackboard/whiteboard.
- For a general eye health check-up: You can bring your child starting from 1 year of age.
- For a vision test: We recommend starting from 3 years of age. Children at high risk for vision problems (e.g., having short-sighted parents or being born prematurely) should be examined at an early age.
If my child always passes the school vision screening, should they still have a comprehensive eye exam?
Yes. If the school screening only tests visual acuity and refractive error, they should still have a comprehensive eye health examination with an ophthalmologist. This is especially important before ages 8-10, when the visual system is fully developed. If amblyopia (lazy eye) is present, it responds much less to treatment after this age.
From what age can one undergo refractive surgery, such as LASIK?
Generally, refractive surgery is performed on individuals aged 18 or older. Additionally, the candidate’s prescription must have been stable (not increased) for at least one year, and their cornea must be sufficiently thick and healthy.
If my child has never had an eye exam, can we wait until they are old enough for LASIK or refractive surgery?
You should not wait. Waiting until the age for surgery may allow permanent, untreatable conditions to develop, such as amblyopia (lazy eye). It also ignores the risks associated with unmanaged high myopia, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Furthermore, uncorrected vision often leads to an unstable prescription, which would make the child ineligible for surgery, or their prescription may become too high to be fully corrected by surgery.
Do you provide prescription glasses for children?
Yes, we can provide all types of children’s eyewear: prescription glasses, myopia control glasses, sunglasses, photochromic (transition) lenses, prescription swimming goggles, sports goggles, and prism lenses.
Do you have frames available to choose from?
Yes, we have frames for both children and adults, including swimming goggles and sports goggles.
Can I bring my own frames?
Yes. If you have current glasses, we recommend bringing them. If you are interested in purchasing frames elsewhere to have lenses fitted, we recommend sending us the frame details first to ask if they are suitable for your prescription and required lenses.
Can I use my own prescription to get glasses?
Yes, you can use a valid prescription from a doctor. If you are unsure about your current prescription, we can perform a new vision test.
